ABSTRACT The object of the present study was to carry out a literature review to analyze the influence of physical activity and dietary behavior on body mass index in school-age children and adolescents. A search was carried out using the PubMed and LILACS databases, in which 1,412 articles were found. After application of inclusion and exclusion criteria, 17 studies were selected for qualitative analysis. Overweight and obesity were related with incorrect dietary habits (skipping breakfast, consumption of foods with high fat contents and high-sugar soft drinks), low levels of physical activity and long hours devoted to sedentary activities (playing video games or watching TV) were also related.

RESUMEN El objetivo de este estudio fue analizar, mediante una revisión de la literatura, la influencia de la práctica de actividad física y del comportamiento dietético sobre el índice de masa corporal de niños y adolescentes en fase escolar. Se realizó una búsqueda en las bases PubMed y LILACS. Se encontraron 1.412 artículos. Tras la aplicación de los criterios de inclusión y exclusión fueron seleccionados 17 estudios para realizar un análisis cualitativo. El sobrepeso y la obesidad están relacionadas a una alimentación in-adecuada (saltar el desayuno, consumo de alimentos con alto contenido de grasa y de bebidas azucaradas), niveles bajos de actividad física y longas horas realizando actividad sedentaria (jugando video-juegos o visualizando la TV).
